"La Curta" passage

Connection to the center of Ortisei

In
the year 2000 a new pedestrian passage was opened in Ortisei. It connects
the village centre (Piazza S. Antonio) with the valley station of the Seceda
ski area, which is the starting point for many walks and hikes. The escalators
have become very popular with our clients and are used by more than 1,000,000
people (residents and non-residents) every year.

The
tunnel itself is open 24 hours a day, but the escalators are turned off
during the night.

The La Curta-Seceda passage is the first construction of this type and
these dimensions in the entire Alps.

It consists of 6 escalators (3 upwards and 3 downwards) and 4
covered moving walkways in a tunnel (2 upwards and 2 downwards).

Total elevation difference: 59 m

Total length: 295 m

Thanks
to the La Curta-Seceda passage it has been possible to reduce local traffic
considerably; furthermore an important step has been made towards the realisation
of the Gherdëina Ronda, the connection of all ski areas in the valley.

Come to Ortisei and try this new and comfortable pedestrian transport
system.
